Trust Me With Forever by Kayla Chase

The last time I trusted a man with my heart, he ended up announcing his engagement to someone else at work and then threatened to blackmail me if I ever talked with his fiancée.

One I never knew he had.
So I ran back home to Starry Hills, trying to figure out what to do with my life since I couldn’t be a teacher without risking blackmail, and then he showed up again.
My best friend’s older brother and world-famous soccer player, Rafael Mendoza.
The one I’d loved as a kid.
But now he’s all grown up and things are complicated. Namely, he abandoned his sister ten years ago and stayed away, hurting her.
I should keep my distance, and yet, whenever he’s there, we start arguing and things turn heated.
Heated in the let’s-rip-our-clothes-off kind of way.
So when I wake up accidentally married to him in Las Vegas, with no memory of how it happened, I’m torn between wanting my childhood dream of being Rafe’s wife to come true and running far, far away to protect myself.
But Rafe’s deal is too good to resist—a year of marriage to avoid bad PR and he’ll both protect me from my ex and grant any favor I wish.
However, the longer we stay married, the more unrealistic my wish becomes.
Because I want to stay married to Rafe and finally give my heart to a man I trust.

Trust Me With Forever is a marriage of convenience, best friend’s older brother, sports, small town romance that’s most definitely not fade-to-black. Happy ending guaranteed.
